If you want Linux you'll also see .nfs* files occuring. What happens is
that many unix apps do this
fd=open(file, "blah", ..)
unlink("blah")
to get an open temporary file that has no name and dies when we exit. NFS
being stateless screws this up too, so all the NFS clients are hacked to
do a thing called "silly rename" when they rename files that are deleted
but open so that the server doesnt screw it up.

File locking is a side item - knfsd does file locking, unfsd doesnt. Its
a seperate and differently broken protocol ;)
